Make it your job, you won't notice it's an addiction and people will be proud of you as a constructive member of society.

Well if you can't, just welcome to the club.

Internet addiction pretty much ruined my life. I can only imagine what I would be like if I had access to truly addictive substances.

The vast majority of things I do are on my computer and the internet, but I don't know if I'd call myself 'addicted'. I just really like it, and don't like much else. I'm not sure what would have to happen for me to see it as addiction. In fact I'm sure I'd never believe myself addicted to anything, saying "I just really like it? What's the problem. I don't have to do this, I just choose to. I can stop anytime I want".

Have you tried to stop using it?
If you've cant stop using it, you may have an addiction. I would expect internet addiction to be very common here. Here are some other signs of addiction:

A week ago I had to go without my computer or the internet for a day because of a power outage.
It was then that I realized that I can't live without technology.

In this day and age, using the internet no longer needs to be an active activity. Saying that you're addicted to the internet is like saying that you're addicted to your house.

Still, some people stay inside their houses for years, and that's certainly unhealthy.

If you want to draw a comparison to drugs, it's like saying you're addicted to needles and not heroin.

I've noticed though, there are some people who think that enjoyment causes addiction, and that addiction destroys enjoyment. Don't believe these people. There's nothing more important than being happy.

We all have beautiful memories from the internet and real life.

Internet is my life!

Doesn't that imply that there is an addiction to interacting with/observing human beings "offline". An addiction that is recommended to people who desire a "productive life"? (I don't know how to rephrase this)

I understand why someone would want to believe this idea is wrong, but all of my life experiences so far and a fair amount of empirical science supports it.

Please try to convince me that I am wrong.
